Within your temple, O God,
we meditate on your unfailing love. (NIV Psalm 48:9)

Oh Lord, great is Your unfailing love!
What are we, just a short-sighted human that live not long as compare of the history of Your redemptive work, worth a thought in Your mind?
What are we, being liars, always cheat and being unfaithful towards the things assigned, worth You made salt covenant with this little creature?
What are we, being sinners, who always rebels against Your holy and righteous will, worth You sacrifice Your only begotten Son to redeem us?

In your temple we find rest.
It is in Your holy temple, we realize how great Your love, with all the things You had done and ordained for us. You give us priest, to mediate and pray for us. You assigned the lamps to shine upon us, table with holy bread telling us that You supplies our daily needs, ark of covenant that reminds us of Your grace and unfailing love for us. Even the temple itself, reminds us that You are always dwelling among us, to be with us, for what would be more precious than that, that Creator Lord of Universe indwelling with this tiny little creature?

Lord teaches us! Teach us how to love, like You loves us. The greatness of Your love, everlasting, forgiving, righteous, holy, sacrificial love, is the love we need in our life. Lord, teach us to love those we deem unworthy, like we ourselves that are unworthy in Your eyes.
